Hi,
I am trying add a command to the R bundle that will send the current
line to the R GUI, in the same way the ESS for Emacs "Eval line &
step" command works.
It is quite easy to send the line to R GUI, but I cannot find a good
way to move to the cursor to the next line in TextMate.
Currently I am using this Applescript to do the job:
# move the cursor
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events"' \
-e 'tell application "TextMate" to activate' \
-e 'tell process "TextMate"' \
-e 'keystroke (ASCII character 31)' \
-e 'end tell' \
-e 'end tell'
But the problem is that when you call the command using a keyboard
shortcut ie. cmd+shift + R and keep holding cmd+shift for some time (I
have this of a habit unfortunately :) ) the keystroke will be cmd
+shift + (ASCII character 31) causing the text from the cursor to the
end of the document to be selected.
Is there a smarter way to advance the cursor one line? -- maybe an
internal TextMate command?
Thanks in advance.
with best regards,
Tobias Pyndt Steinmann

Before I start one question. Which R bundle do you are using? The
'normal' one or the Review bundles R, R Console (R.app), R Console
(Rdaemon)?

I am currently using the 'normal' R bundle, I just discovered the
Console mode and your Rdaemon bundle. But I have not been able to find
the above mentioned feature in non of them...

Why do you want to do it?
My current workflow is to write my script in a .R file and then
execute the script or parts of it. I have used MATLAB a lot and this
is the way I work in MATLAB.
With the 'normal' R bundle you can execute the entire script inside
TextMate, send the entire script to the R GUI, or send a selection to
the R GUI, but you cannot send the current line to R.
That is if you only want to execute one line you have to select the
line, which requires more click/keyboard actions.
This is why I want to make a shortcut that send the current line to R
and moves the cursor down to enable me to run the next line quickly.
It would also be nice to be able to do cells like in MATLAB: splitting
the script into sections by two comment characters, and then run the
cells independently.
But maybe it is my workflow that is the problem, how do you work with
R in TextMate?

Tobias, you have some nice suggestions, so I don't want to steer the
discussion away from them, but just to answer this particular
question, selecting the current line is a single extra keystroke: cmd-
shift-L. Not perfect, but not too bad either I would think.
